How do you wean off so quickly? I assume you need to wean off then wait 1-3 weeks and then ramp back up again?

I was on Gabapentin but could not get past 1500mg a day as it was drying out my throat something God awful.


I am on 600mg lyricia and found that once it hit 300mg I was gettings some positive results that would last a few days. then 400mg. less pain for a week and the pain would come back, 500mg less pain for week, then pain would come back, and then 600mg less pain for a week and pain would come back. Notice a pattern. My Doctor said while you can build up a tolerance to the drug it shouldnt happend that quickly.

My burning pain is up and down so much I can't find a pattern but it seems like the lyrica isnt doing much for it. I should try getting off Lyrica but I am afraid my pain will be worse if I do.
